There is described the hydraulic system of the excavator. In order to compare the individual losses in the hydraulic circuits for controlling the working mechanisms, the hydraulic oil flow rates through the OTC H50 meter were measured. Firstly, f (…)

THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE BEARING JOURNAL MOTION DUE TO FLUID FORCE CAUSED BY THE OIL FILM

JIRI TUMA, MILADA KOZUBKOVA, MIROSLAV PAWLENKA, MIROSLAV MAHDAL, JIRI SIMEK
Keywords: journal bearings | reynolds equation | fluid forces | muszynska model

The paper relates to the fluid force acting on the journal of the slide bearings and its movement at stable lubrication. These forces can be calculated using the Reynolds equation. The analysis is based on the solution of the simplified equation and the experimental verification with the use of the test rig. The assumptions are verified by the numerical solution of the Reynolds equation by the FVM method.

LOAD CYCLE INVESTIGATION OF AXIAL PISTON UNITS INTEGRATED INTO A FORWARDER

IVAN BAUS, ROBERT RAHMFELD, ANDREAS SCHUMACHER, HENRIK PEDERSEN
Keywords: axial piston unit | load cycles | clustering algorithm | measurement system | drivetrain | load assessment

The consideration of the drivetrains behavior under real operating conditions is becoming increasingly important. While in the past decades it was good enough to have a rough knowledge about the operation conditions in field, a more accurate and detailed picture of the duty cycles is required today. Caused by specific and complex operation conditions the load deviation between different applications is (…)
